Mass mutas are a problem all game long since Toss can't expand once they're out on the field and can't pressure due to the Spine Crawler spam. We need a gateway unit that is decent against air or a unit with reliable AoE against air that can be teched to. Not a micro intensive unit that can only work if we happened to have opened Phoenix anyway. Snipe isn't taken out of the game. It's still an option. Terran players just need to do more now. A handful of mutas is not an issue at all for protoss and it's not possible to get a huge muta ball until it's late late game | ||

I can't think of a pro that thought this was a bad patch other than a few terrans (and mostly for purposes outside of zvt), in fact I think most of the community is very happy about it. Everyone agreed that snipe needed to be nerfed in someway, but nerfing it into the ground so that it is now useless against any type of bio unit was a bit much. Snipe is no longer effective vs marines, scvs, zealots, banelings, ect... | ||

Since Terran can't match Z production, this will no longer occur and Terran will almost certainly lose. | ||

I have they suck with anything but Mech and when you Mech you're so immobile that it's basically impossible to hold more then 3 bases on the majority of the Maps since the only mobile unit you have is the Helion that does horrible against anything but Lings. And no Ghosts in TvZ will not be good anymore . They're basically the Anti-Infestor which is kinda funny since the Infestor is basically the Anti-Everything. But thats not new Blizzard thinks it's a great idea to force players into building units for 1! purpose alone and make them useless for anything else. | ||

The changes Blizzard posted are not in the game. Instead Voidrays got what seems to be there speed upgrade for free (Speed is reading 2.25 now, they seem faster then before but unsure). Ghosts snipe still reads 45 dmg (is that what it was before?). Since there are no official patch notes, I wonder what is going on. Can anyone tell me the default unit stats for Voidray speed and snipe dmg? There is also no range upgrade at fleet beacon. i thought voidray already moved at 2.25... | ||

You're right in the sense that no one would know the potential of certain units until they are used more extensively. Just because they nerfed terran in the previous patch isn't a good reason to justify why they shouldn't be nerfed in this patch. If a unit is too strong, it has to be readjusted. | ||

It's pretty much the same thing with snipe. When you have 6 to 8 gases and all your gas is being invested into mutas, it's quite easy to get up to 24-30 mutas, it's not late late game. | ||

And again, I don't see many Protoss players celebrating the Phoenix buff, since it totally misses the actual problem. The only thing people are happy about is the MULE change. Bullsh*t. seeker missiles. thors. ghosts. spread vikings still wreck brood/infestor | ||

A handful of mutas is not an issue at all for protoss and it's not possible to get a huge muta ball until it's late late game False. A decent number of Mutas (let's say 15+) represents a problem that quickly spirals out of control against Protoss. The trouble is with the style of play that Zergs adopt when playing Mutas. They contain you in your base, force you to waste money on cannons, Templar, and so on, and essentially prevent you from expanding. You will never reliably get past 3 base against a good Muta Zerg unless you open Phoenix. Further, how does the Phoenix buff even help against 30 Mutas in the late game? There's no opportunity to make a Stargate or three and start pumping Phoenixes. It's not like Protoss suddenly receives a fleet of Phoenixes once they reach the mythical "late late game" (whenever that is). And so what if you kill the Mutas? You're still stuck on 3 bases since you couldn't expand until the Mutas were killed. Now a huge force of BL/Infestor/whatever comes at you from the 6base Zerg and you lose. It'd almost be like if Terran had to make BCs to deal with Mutas and there was no other option. They'd get massacred. The reason Mutas can be dealt with by a Terran player (without making Mutas useless) is because Marines are good agaisnt them early, Turrets are good at making the trade not worth it for the Zerg, and Thors do GUARANTEED massive damage to Mutas. Protoss has none of these bonuses. That, right there, is the problem. Stalkers are bad against Mutas in that they can't kill them quickly enough to justify their high cost and supply. Cannons are worse than turrets, require pylons, are more expensive, and can't be repaired. Storm is our Thor equivalent but it can be dodged and against a decent Zerg will never deal more than 20 damage (i.e. 1 tick). Phoenix are okay but can never be massed quickly enough once Spire has been scouted; they also have way less aggressive potential than Mutas, which mop up mineral lines in seconds. | ||

I don't play Toss but wanted to see if any changes were done in this patch. They just looked/felt faster to me since I last played Toss. Its strange because I downloaded the Patch and patched my game, but I don't have any of the changes Blizzard posted in the situation report. Bug? Or does the patch changes not take effect until the game is actually back online? | ||

Since the units you build are now completely useless and i want to see how after a battle in the middle of the Map you attack a Zerg with Thors , Empty Ravens and Vikings before he remaxed on something completely different. Most maps in competetive play right now are too big for that. They force Terran to build so many units purely to counter other units that just suck at actually attacking someone because they're either too slow , Energy reliant or just flat out suck against anything they're not supposed to counter. | ||
